Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Notes that the energy transition towards a climate neutral and renewable- based system requires a well-developed electricity grid and advanced storage technologies, backup generation and demand management in order to secure a constant power supply;
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Deeply regrets that infrastructure projects which are crucial to the energy transition often face strong resistance at local level; encourages the Member States, regions and municipalities to actively encourage public support at the local levelall levels through collaborative governance, for instance through early public participation and consultation, an abundant dissemination of information, including the cost of non-action, transparency regarding the planned projects and models to make the concerned communities benefit from the installations where appropriate;

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Urgently calls for a revision of the TEN-E Regulation17 before the adoption of the next list of projects of common interest (PCI); calls for the criteria for granting PCI status to be aligned with the EU’s climate and sustainability goalsParis Agreement long-term temperature goal and the EU’s goal for climate neutrality in 2050 through a systematic climate- assessment of all candidate projects for the PCI-list; _________________ 17Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2013 on guidelines for trans- European energy infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No 713/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 (OJ L 115, 25.4.2013, p. 39).
Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13 a. Notes that production facilities for green hydrogen remain limited in the European Union today; further notes that an increased and timely deployment of renewable energies is crucial for the domestic production of green hydrogen; calls on the Commission to conduct an analysis of the current and potential European capacity to produce green hydrogen; further encourages the Commission to analyse capacities for the underground storage of hydrogen and to examine measures to increase the public and private investment in research regarding green hydrogen;
Amendment 212 #
14. Notes that there are varying standards in the Member States as regards the blending of hydrogen with natural gas and biomethane; calls, therefore, on the Commission to develop minimum blending standards for hydrogen both for the gas grid and end uses; points out that for this, a stakeholder consultation should be made to ensure that these standards are adapted to the end users’ quality needs and technological capacities to take up hydrogen-blended gas; further recommends the development of European standards for climate-neutral and renewable gases and a guarantees of origin system accounting for the avoided CO2-emissions, as well as for clarifying how the gas was produced, including the feedstocks used, in order to enable the traceability of green energy for consumers and end users;
Amendment 224 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. CUnderlines the importance of the existing gas infrastructure for storage and transportation purposes of decarbonised and renewable energy carriers; calls on the Commission to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the cost of retrofitting and readiness of gas infrastructure for the use of green hydrogen and hydrogen-blended natural gas and biomethane;
Amendment 268 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Is concerned about the EU’s heavy dependence on imports of raw materials for battery production and the social and ecological conditions in which they are extracted; is convinced that enhanced recycling schemes for batteries could deliver a significant share of the raw materials required for battery production within the EU;
Amendment 277 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Calls on the Commission to consider a recycling target for lithium-ion batteries when revising the Batteries Directivebatteries and/or a minimum share of recycled content in batteries when revising the Batteries Directive and to examine measures to increase the social and ecological standards within the whole value chain of battery production;
Amendment 285 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20 a. Points out the need for a European standardisation framework for battery design including sustainability criteria;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26 b (new)
Paragraph 26 b (new)
26 b. Is convinced that batteries and fuel cells will play a significant role in the decarbonisation of the transport sector, as well as for grid stabilisation; encourages the fast deployment of the necessary infrastructure; in this respect, welcomes the Commission’s declaration to support the deployment of public recharging and refuelling points; also welcomes the review of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive and of the TEN-T Regulation; urges the Commission and the Council to maintain high levels of funding for CEF;
